Another factor that PepsiCo feels may affect their business is additional labeling or warning requirements or limitations on their product packaging (PepsiCo, 2016). New regulations may require companies to provide a label that highlights perceived concerns about a product or warns consumers to avoid consumption of certain ingredients present in their products on each product (PepsiCo, 2016). For example, in California, Proposition 65 requires a specific warning on any product that contains a substance listed by the State of California as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects if the levels of the substance are above a safe harbor level (PepsiCo, 2016). These new regulations could reduce the overall consumption of their products, lead to negative publicity or leave consumers with the perception that their products do not meet their health and wellness needs (PepsiCo, 2016). These regulations could ultimately negatively affect PepsiCo’s business, financial condition or results of operations (PepsiCo, 2016).
Overall, PepsiCo Inc. appears to be in a positive position financially.

They are doing very well from a financial perspective. Some of the numbers do not look good to the traditional investor, but that is because Costco is not a traditional company. The current ratio shows that Costco can meet all current liabilities, while liquidity is also high (which means the company can quickly convert assets into cash). Profit is also constantly increased by not having to store inventory.
PepsiCo is a huge, multi-billion-dollar company that invests its time and money into creating loveable and lasting products for consumers all over the world. PepsiCo has been on the rise for years and if things continue to prosper like they do know, they should be a lasting company for many more years to continue. PepsiCo relates to their customers and continues to create new and improved products that bring publicity to their company, while still producing the recognizable products that that they are known for.

Consumers could spend as much as $10 more per product if proposed label changes go through. The FDA is proposing new food labels by changing its look, and what information is places on the label. Improving food labels would not improve the public’s health because it is (1)costly, (2)will take lots of time and, (3)it is unnecessary. I believe that the new labels won’t help public health because people are not educated enough to know how to read them. More money should be spent on educating people on the labels rather than changing them. If the new labels are made the people who knew how to read them before will now have to learn how to read the new labels. With the new labels means more money spent on things that is unneeded.
PepsiCo’s revenue has increased dramatically per prior year stated about five thousand higher. Price of stock is $2.39 @ 1,782 shares in which is higher according to shares compared to the industry market however. Price dropped in the prior year, not significantly but for the revenue increase; this is not good for investors or for future investment opportunities. Continuing operations revenue has decreased slightly; exploring this avenue could result in larger net revenue for future
What I find to be the biggest indicator of concern is that PepsiCo’s profitability is currently declining, despite its ever-increasing sales figures. It has lost 2% on both its profit margin, and return on assets. The return on common stockholder’s equity, has dipped by 4%, and they lost $.02 over every dollar invested in assets in 2005. This goes back to my assessment of their sales and net income figures. Here again, I see indications that their spending has increased dramatically, which is having a negative impact on profitability. Since the soft drink industry is a high-volume, low-overhead industry, controlling and minimizing expenses is of paramount importance. I find this trend to be very troubling, considering PepsiCo’s sales haven’t stopped climbing, yet they are starting to lose their profitability. Should their sales dip, they will be very hard put to maintain themselves.
According to PepsiCo “Organic revenue grew 5 percent in the fourth quarter and in the full year, reported net revenue declined 1 percent for the quarter and 1.5 percent for the full year, reflecting the impact of previously announced structural changes” (PepsiCo, 2013). The cost of running the business paid off from a revenue standpoint but overall net revenue fell by one percent. Additionally, Pepsi remained exceedingly concentrated on generating appealing returns for shareholders, and returned $6.5 billion to shareholders in 2012 “through a combination of share repurchases and dividends,” (Pepsi, 2013) This increased costs for the company but the cost spending implemented paid off for shareholders who would be more willing to invest more in the company in the future.

Long before now has branding been considered as one of the peripheral aspects of business. Manufacturers, investors and other key players focused on the product without paying much attention to the consumer.
